X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>On the celebration of Centennial of Americ
 a&rsquo\;s entry into World War I\, this new presentation highlights how w
 omen in Maryland rallied to new involvement and activism during 1917-1918.
  In the rural areas of Maryland\, including Montgomery County\, farms suff
 ered extreme shortages of workers as men left for the war. At the same tim
 e\, America became the main food source not only for feeding people at hom
 e and for American soldiers abroad but also for the people of Europe on th
 e brink of starvation. Farm work became a patriotic crusade for women\, an
 d suffragettes encouraged a new kind of farm worker called the farmerette.
  Female grit and gusto made a difference in Maryland during the war</p>\n<
